Chapter Thirty-Two: Aiden

Ava excused us and headed upstairs while I sat down opposite my dad. "Claire, go bring us some whisky," he instructed the maid.

Claire has been working here with us for some years, even when Olivia and I were still together. So naturally, she was well acquainted with my father.

She curtsied and then left us alone. His eyes met with mine and he leaned forward, propping his elbows against his thigh.

"So, to what do I owe this surprise visit?" I asked, pretending like I didn't know the financial term oil that the company was going through.

Maybe if I didn't bring it up, he wouldn't either. I knew he always had his way of finding things out so he probably already knew about everything even without me telling him.

"What happened to your arm?" He asked, sounding detached as he took a quick glance at my shoulder sling.

"It's nothing, just an accident on site."
